Definitions
- the invention relates to a cell for metal electrowinning, particularly useful for the electrolytic production of copper and other non-ferrous metals from ionic solutions.
- Electrometallurgical processes are generally carried out in undivided electrochemical cell containing an electrolytic bath and a multiplicity of anodes and cathodes; in such processes, such as the electrodeposition of copper, the electrochemical reaction taking place at the cathode, which is usually made of stainless steel, leads to the deposition of copper metal on the cathode surface.
- cathodes and anodes are vertically arranged, interleaved in a face-to-face position.
- the anodes are fixed to suitable anodic hanger bars, which in their turn are in electrical contact with positive bus-bars integral with the cell body; the cathodes are similarly supported by cathodic hanger bars which are in contact with the negative bus-bars.
- the cathodes extracted at regular intervals, usually of a few days, to effect the harvesting of the deposited metal.
- the metallic deposit is expected to grow with a regular thickness over the entire surface of the cathodes, building up with the passage of electric current, but it is known that some metals, such as copper, are subject to occasional formation of dendritic deposits that grow locally at increasingly higher rate as that their tip approaches the surface of the facing anode; inasmuch as the local distance between anode and cathode decreases, an increasing fraction of current tends to concentrate at the point of dendrite growth, until the onset of a short-circuit condition between cathode and anode occurs.
- the catalyst-coated titanium mesh is inserted inside an envelope consisting of a permeable separator - for instance a porous sheet of polymeric material or a cation-exchange membrane - fixed to a frame and surmounted by a demister, as described in concurrent patent application WO2013060786.
- a permeable separator for instance a porous sheet of polymeric material or a cation-exchange membrane - fixed to a frame and surmounted by a demister, as described in concurrent patent application WO2013060786.
- the growth of dendritic formations towards the anodic surface entails the further risk of piercing of the permeable separator even before they reach the anodic surface, resulting in the inevitable destruction of the device.
- the invention relates to a cell of metal electrowinning comprising an anode with a surface catalytic towards oxygen evolution reaction and a cathode having a surface suitable for electrolytic deposition of metal arranged parallel thereto having a porous electrically conductive screen arranged therebetween and optionally in electrical connection to the anode through a suitably dimensioned resistor, the porous screen having a sensibly lower catalytic activity towards oxygen evolution than the anode.
- the surface of the screen is characterised by an oxygen evolution potential at least 100 mV higher than that of the anode surface in typical process conditions, e.g.
- the screen is characterised by a sufficiently compact but porous structure, such that it allows the passage of the electrolytic solution without interfering with the ionic conduction between the cathode and the anode.
- the inventors have surprisingly found that by carrying out the electrolysis with a cell design as described, dendrites that are possibly formed are effectively stopped before they reach the facing anode surface so that their growth is essentially blocked.
- the high anodic overvoltage characterising the surface of the screen prevents it from working as anode during the normal cell operation, allowing the lines of current to keep on reaching the anode surface undisturbed.
- a dendrite grow from the cathode surface it will be able to proceed only until it gets in contact with the screen. Once the contact takes place, a circuit of first species conductors is closed (cathode / dendrite / screen / anodic bus-bar), so that the dendrite growth towards the anode becomes less advantageous.
- the possible deposition of metal on the surface of the screen can even increase its conductivity to some extent, making it subject to short-circuit current flows.
- the resistance of the screen can be calibrated to an optimal value through the selection of construction materials, their dimensioning (for example, pitch and diameter of wires in the case of textile structures, diameter and mesh opening in the case of meshes) or the introduction of more or less conductive inserts.
- the screen can be made of carbon fabrics of appropriate thickness.
- the screen can consist of a mesh or perforated sheet of a corrosion-resistant metal, for example titanium, provided with a coating catalytically inert towards the oxygen evolution reaction. This can have the advantage of relying on the chemical nature and the thickness of the coating to achieve an optimal electrical resistance, leaving the task of imparting the necessary mechanical features to the mesh or perforated plate.
- the catalytically inert coating may be based on tin, for example in the form of oxide.
- Tin oxides above a certain specific loading have proved particularly suitable for imparting an optimal resistance in the absence of catalytic activity towards the anodic evolution of oxygen.
- suitable materials for achieving a catalytically inert coating include tantalum, niobium and titanium, for example in form of oxides.
- the restraint of the short circuit current is achieved by mutually connecting the anode and the porous screen through a calibrated resistor, for example having a resistance of 0.01 to 100 ⁇ .
- An appropriate adjustment of the electrical resistance of the screen allows the device to operate by leveraging the advantages of the invention to the maximum extent: a very low resistance could lead to the drainage of an excessive amount of current, which would somehow diminish the overall yield of copper deposition; on the other hand, a certain conductivity of the screen is useful in order to break the "tip effect" - the main cause of the dendrite growth - and disperse the current flow from the dendrite across the plane, avoiding its growth through the openings of the screen and the consequent risk of mechanical interference in the subsequent procedure of cathode extraction.
- the optimal point of regulation of the electrical resistance of the screen and the optional resistor in series basically depends on the overall cell size and can be easily calculated by a person skilled in the art.
- the electrowinning cell comprises an additional non-conductive porous separator, positioned between the anode and the screen.
- This can have the advantage of interposing an ionic conductor between two planar conductors of the first species, establishing a clear separation between the current flow associated to the anode and the one drained by the screen.
- the non-conductive separator may be a web of insulating material, a mesh of plastic material, an assembly of spacers or a
- the person skilled in the art will be able to determine the optimal distance of the porous screen from the anode surface depending on the characteristics of the process and of the overall dimensioning of the plant.
- the inventors have obtained the best results working with cells having anodes spaced apart by 25 to 100 mm from the facing cathode, with the porous screen placed 1 -20 mm from the anode.
- the invention relates to an electrolyser for metal electrowinning from an electrolytic bath comprising a stack of cells as hereinbefore described in mutual electrical connection, for example consisting of stacks of cells in parallel, mutually connected in series.
- a stack of cells implies that each anode is sandwiched between two facing cathodes, delimiting two adjacent cells with each of its two faces; between each face of the anode and the relevant facing cathode, a porous screen and an optional non-conductive porous separator will then be interleaved.
- the invention relates to a process of copper manufacturing by electrolysis of a solution containing copper in ionic form inside an electrolyser as hereinbefore described.
- FIGURE 1 represents an exploded view of an internal detail of an electrolyser according to one embodiment of the invention.
- FIGURE Figure 1 shows the minimum repeating unit of a modular stack of cells that constitutes an electrolyser according to one embodiment of the invention.
- Two adjacent electrolytic cells are delimited by central anode (100) and the two cathodes (400) facing the same; between cathodes (400) and the two faces of anode (100), the respective non- conductive porous separators (200) and conductive porous screens (300) are interposed.
- Conductive porous screens (300) are put in electrical connection with anode (100) by means of connection (500) through anode hanger bar (1 10) used to suspend anode (100) itself to the anodic bus-bar of the electrolyser (not shown).
- a laboratory test campaign was carried out inside a single electrowinning cell having an overall cross section of 170 mm x 170 mm and a height of 1500 mm, containing a cathode and an anode.
- a 3 mm thick, 150 mm wide and 1000 mm high sheet of AISI 316 stainless steel was used as the cathode;
- the anode consisted of a titanium grade 1 , 2 mm thick, 150 mm wide and 1000 mm high expanded sheet, activated with a coating of mixed oxides of iridium and tantalum.
- the cathode and anode were positioned vertically face-to-face spaced apart by a distance of 40 mm between the outer surfaces.
- a screen consisting of a titanium grade 1 , 0.5 mm thick, 150 mm wide and 1000 mm high expanded sheet coated with a layer of 21 g/m 2 of tin oxide, was positioned spaced apart by 10 mm from the surface of the anode and electrically connected to the anode through a resistor having 1 ⁇ of electrical resistance.
- the cell was operated with an electrolyte containing 160 g /I of H 2 SO 4 and 50 g / 1 of copper as Cu 2 SO 4 ; a direct current of 67.5 A was supplied, corresponding to a current density of 450 A m 2 , with the onset of oxygen evolution at the anode and copper deposition at cathode.
- a direct current of 67.5 A was supplied, corresponding to a current density of 450 A m 2 , with the onset of oxygen evolution at the anode and copper deposition at cathode.
- Example 1 The test of Example 1 was repeated in the absence of protective shield interposed between cathode and anode. After about two hours of test, a dendritic formation with a diameter of about 12 mm grew until getting in contact with the anode surface. The passage of current through the thus generated short-circuit was above the 500 A which constituted the limit of the employed rectifier, causing an extensive corrosion of the anodic structure with formation of a hole of diameter corresponding to that of the dendrite body. The test was then forcibly discontinued.
